Living in the United States

Many people wish to live in the country called The Land of the Free. Maybe because of good opportunities and jobs. Well, in my homeland we have strong family ties, which is something we value. We always help our family even if we're married, and we take care of them until they get old. Some married couples live together with their parents. But because of poverty we often have to go abroad in order to work. There is a big difference between working abroad, especially in USA, and working in the Philippines. You can earn more and send the money back home; that really helps them. And for those who are full-time mothers here maybe life is not fun, because you feel that you're isolated; no family is helping you. You are just alone taking care of your kids; it is sad, though, to think about it...
